Testing An SM58 Mic Setup

` youtube : https : //www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmWC1vInUrA `

### Goal : Figure out what I want to use for my audio setup √

End result :

- SM58 wins over H5 - With Noise Suppression - With Compressor - Without High Pass filter - With Pop Screen

### Test Notes

Here's the test notes :

Songs played during the tests :

- Doctor Momentum (lounder) - Deep Mind (sofer)

This shows how much I need to setup a playlist where songs have a consistent volume. Maybe there's a way to automate that?

When the Filters are active, this is there settings :

- Noise Suppression : - 30dB

- Compressor : - Ratio : 10.00 : 1 - Threshold : - 18dB - Attach 6ms - Release 60ms - Output Gain : 0dB - Sidechain/Ducking Source : None

- VST 2.x Plug - in (reaeq - standalone) : - High Pass - Log - Scale Automated Frequencies - Frequency : 140.7 (C#2) - Gain : - 27.5dB - Bandwith (oct) : 2.00
